Useful Tips for Oily Skin

Oily skin is becoming an epidemic of sorts. Most people suffer from skin issues related to oily skin. Before we discuss how to care for oily skin, let us take a brief look at the reasons for skin to be oily.

From your family

As such there are several reasons that cause skin to be oily, the top most amongst them is genetics. If having oily skin runs in the family, then the likelihood of you having an oily skin too is also high.

Seasonal Changes

Another reason is seasonal changes. We all know that skin secretes more oil when it’s hot and humid but even in the dry season, when the skin feels dehydrated, the sebaceous gland increase the production of sebum to over compensate the loss of it due to dry weather. Then there are also certain medications that cause the skin to be excessively oily as they alter the hormone levels in the body.

Stressfulness

Stress is another very big contributor to oily skin. When in stress the body produces extra androgen hormones, which in turn increase the production of oil on our skin. Contrary to popular belief, getting tanned may seem to dry out skin on the surface level but internally it actually injures the skin and as a result of that the sebaceous glands produce excess oil to protect the skin.

Overuse of Makeup

Finally over use of makeup and use of incorrect skin care products are big reasons for skin to become oily. Using the correct skin care products, of good quality, is of extreme importance not only to check the oiliness but also to enhance the quality of the skin.
